Ch. Lee et al., Planar lightwave circuit design for programmable complementary spectral keying encoder and decoder, ELECTR LETT, 35(21), 1999, pp. 1813-1815
A planar lightwave circuit design for implementing complementary spectral k
eying encoders and decoders is presented. The design uses only one arrayed-
waveguide grating integrated with arrays of thermo-optic phase shifters and
attenuators in a reflective structure. The result is a compact, low compon
ent count, programmable spectral keying switch that can implement a variety
of spectral encoding/decoding functions.
